Empowering EMS is a shared responsibility.
Share your EMS story with Congress to get the support you need. Join us!
Empowering EMS Begins with YOU!
Members of Congress must hear how your challenges impact your patients and care in your community. Your representatives want to hear from you.
Speak directly to your U.S. Senators, Representatives, and key legislative staff to help them understand how to support you and your agency. Ask them to support Treat-In-Place/TIP, direct funding, and patient and practitioner safety legislation.
Participate in Hill Day and share your story.
